"To most modern readers the book of Ezekiel is a mystery. Few can handle Ezekiel's relentless denunciations, his unconventional antics, his repetitive style, and his bewildering array of topics. This excellent commentary by Daniel I. Block makes sense of this obscure and often misunderstood prophet and demonstrates the relevance of Ezekiel's message for the church today."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Books of Kings
Published by BRILL
2016

ISBN 9789004177291,9004177299

710 pages

This collaborative commentary on, or dictionary of, Kings, explores cross-cutting aspects of Kings ranging from the analysis of its composition, historically regarded, to its transmission and reception. Ample attention is accorded sources, figures and peoples who play a part in the book. The commentary deals with Kings treatment in translation and role in later ancient literature. While our comments do not proceed verse by verse, the volume furnishes guidance, from contributors highly qualified to advance contemporary discussion, on the book's historical background, its literary intentions and characteristics, and on themes and motifs central to its understanding, both of itself and of the world from which it arose. This volume functions as a meta-commentary, offering windows into the secondary literature, but assembling data more fully than is the case in individual commentaries.

The Definition of Raw - Plowable Snow Up North. The same storm responsible for windswept rain in the Twin Cities will mix with a fresh surge of Canadian air to whip up some 4-8 inch snow totals for the North Shore. Perhaps, but snow in March is hardly newsworthy at this latitude. On this date in 1917 the metro area was pasted with 9 inches of fresh snow.

Another wave of moisture approaches from the north today as a vertical storm temporarily.

To find out, they obtained three snakes: a western diamond-backed rattlesnake, a western cottonmouth and a Texas ratsnake.

For many of us, drones weren’t the first camera-equipped gadgets in our lives. Everyone’s journey is personal. For me, it started with a MiniDV camera before it came to DSRLs, and eventually, the surprising need to buy a Go-Pro. It was only thereafter that the fixation on drones—4K capable cameras that could also actually fly—began to take hold. Even though we all have smartphones in our pockets and are ready to snap a photo in a second’s notice, it’s always bugged me that the high definition...
